Not just any blue cheese, but MAYTAG blue cheese. For sixty two years, this cheese has been made by hand on the same dairy farm in Newton, Iowa.
My mother raves about this cheese, and she recalls my grandfather (who lived in Iowa) serving it.
I think I've found an unusual Christmas gift for my mother. A two pound wheel of this cheese is available for $23 plus $5.00 in shipping and handling. That doesn't seem like too much to pay for what is considered the "definitive" American blue cheese. Besides, each bite will bring back memories for her.
If you're interested in trying this cheese, you can call 800/247-2458 to order.

I'm interested in buying the 1 oz individual wedges of Maytag Blue Cheese. My parents used to send us these many years ago for a Christmas present. Do you know where I can purchase this item?

Call the number listed in the entry above and the Matag Dairies will be happy to send you a catalog with the cheese packed in every size possible.
Or....go to the most popular search engine starting with a "G" (sorry, for some reason MoveableType found that name questionable) and enter the words
Maytag blue cheese
and you'll find dozens of places that carry it.
